  Our Learning

Math: In math this week we started learning about 2D shapes. We sorted circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles. On Wednesday we went on a shape hunt in the library and on Thursday we even got to go on a shape hunt outside. We found so many different shapes hiding in the world around us. We can't wait to start learning about 3D shapes next week. 

Writing: In writing this week we have been continuing to focus on creating our best writing and fixing our mistakes. We are getting so good are using the sound/word wall to help us spell common words correctly and are getting way better at using all lowercases in our writing. 

Science: In science this week we started learning about plant life cycles and what they need to survive. We learned that plants need sun, water, air, and soil to live. When they get all these things they are able to grow from a seed, to a seedling, to a sprout, to a full grown plant!

Social studies: In social studies we have been learning that one of the communities we can belong to, is the country that our families came from before they came to Canada, or the Nation or group our family belongs to if we're indigenous. We have been having so much fun learning about all the different countries our families are from. So far we have learned about Philippines, China, India, and England. We even got to try some foods from these counties like samosas, tea, rice, and mangos. 

Gym: In gym this week finally finished our gymnastics unit and have started to learn about soccer. We have been learning how to kick, stop/trap, and pass the ball while keeping it in control. It is harder than it looks!
